Allergen,Individual-Food Soyabean Glycine Max
Overview
Like peanuts, soybeans are legumes and contain similar proteins to tree nuts. Therefore, individuals allergic to soybeans may also be allergic to peanuts, and tree nuts, like almonds, pecans, walnuts, hazelnuts, Brazil nuts, and cashews. Most food allergies develop in childhood and may be outgrown over time, but many suffer from lifelong allergies, including soybeans.
Consuming soybeans or soy products may activate an individual's immune system response. The key allergens in soybeans are the proteins: Gly m 5, Gly m 6, and Gly m 4. Once ingested, the immune system will view these proteins as harmful and produce antibodies to combat these invaders. Unfortunately, these antibodies cause a chemical known as histamine to be released, triggering an allergic reaction.

Common signs or symptoms of soyabean allergy may include the following:
- Hives or skin rashes
- Itching/swelling (especially of the lips/face/tongue/throat)
- Severe dizziness
- Trouble breathing

A severe, possibly life-threatening allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis may occur in some cases. An anaphylactic response requires immediate medical attention. Signs or symptoms of anaphylaxis may include:
- Rapid or increased pulse

Specific IgE measures the concentration of circulating allergen specific IgE for food allergen soyabean.
This test requires a blood sample. A tourniquet (elastic) band is placed tightly on the upper arm. The patient is then asked to make a fist. This helps in the build-up of blood filling the veins. The skin is disinfected before needle insertion and the blood sample is collected in vacutainer
Detection of IgE antibodies indicates an increased likelihood of allergy to soyabean that may be responsible for eliciting signs and symptoms. A negative result indicates that the symptoms are not due to soyabean allergies and other differential diagnoses must be considered.
